How long has your Dynasty 200 series run trouble free?

01-14-2013, 09:57 AM

I'm never one to buy things when they first hit the shelf since I don't like being the test guinea pig finding out all the problems the designers didn't. Sure as I buy it, they make a new and improved version that fixes the issues.

I was just wondering how many years the Dynasty 200 series has been around?

I hear a lot about the longevity of the inverter designs being an issue and was wondering what their typical life span can be?

If you have a Dynasty that has not had an issue please post how old it is.

Dynasty 200 - 5 years and not a problem.
Maxstar 150 - 7 years and not a problem, I push it hard just to see how much it can take. It has overheated a few times and shuts off but always comes back on after it cools off. I once got it so hot it melted the connecter on the back power switch and wouldnt turn on. I thought I fried it, did a check with a volt meter found the problem ordered a new switch and back in business.
My XMT 350's have been problem free also.

I have a 200dx that has to be around 10 years old. It has an LC7 serial number. It has seen light to medium usage, and has always been covered in a heated shop. Most of it's usage has been on 3 phase. No problems yet...
